Oil pressure gauge installation!

Post by Slavixs »

Hello! I bought some gauges! On of them is oil pressure! Ok, then I have a question, where I need to connect/install the pressure sender? probably you have some photoes? I need some advises! Thank you so much!

You got a oil filter adapter? You put it between your engine and your filter. Here`s a example

I know some other brands car manufacturers (VW for instance) have pre drilled and tapped holes for this. Are such holes available on Honda engines? I think there is one located under the valve cover at the camshaft brdige, or is that not the intended use since it need the valve cover to be removed :? ?

Use a T at your engine's oil pressure sender and plug the new one with the stock. or you can use the sandwich plate. they are all around ebay etc for use with turbo oil lines
